Quantum Statistical Witness Indistinguishability
Statistical witness indistinguishability is a relaxation of statistical zero-knowledge which guarantees that the transcript of an interactive proof reveals no information about which valid witness the prover used to generate it. In this paper we define and initiate the study of QSWI, the class of problems with quantum statistically witness indistinguishable proofs. Using inherently quantum techniques from Kobayashi (TCC 2008), we prove that any problem with an honest-verifier quantum statisti…

ViReSkill: Vision-Grounded Replanning with Skill Memory for LLM-Based Planning in Lifelong Robot Learning
Robots trained via Reinforcement Learning (RL) or Imitation Learning (IL) often adapt slowly to new tasks, whereas recent Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) promise knowledge-rich planning from minimal data. Deploying LLMs/VLMs for motion planning, however, faces two key obstacles: (i) symbolic plans are rarely grounded in scene geometry and object physics, and (ii) model outputs can vary for identical prompts, undermining execution reliability. We propose ViReSkill,…

Robust superconductivity upon doping chiral spin liquid and Chern insulators in a Hubbard-Hofstadter model
Demonstrating superconductivity in purely repulsive Hubbard models is a compelling goal which underscores the counter-intuitive ability of Coulomb interactions to mediate superconductivity. Here, we present numerical evidence for robust superconductivity in a triangular Hubbard-Hofstadter model at $π/2$ flux per plaquette. Employing infinite density matrix renormalization group calculations on infinite cylinders of finite circumference, we observe superconducting ground states for a wide range…

New York City ought to immediately initiate eminent domain proceedings and seize every trump or trump org family owned building in the city.
On what grounds:
Because of false statements and failure to abide by agreements with the city.
For instance, tromp-tower was built in violation of an agreement to preserve aspects of the Bonwitt-Teller building.
And the city does have need of space for homeless and low income housing.
If the maga's can fire people based…

Google Pay and PhonePe accounted for 80% of India's UPI transactions in Aug. 2025, down from 85% a year ago, as smaller players like Navi and BHIM gained ground (Pratik Bhakta/The Economic Times)

Smaller UPI players nibble at veterans’ transactions share
The race for Unified Payments Interface (UPI) market share is heating up, with smaller fintechs ramping up volumes and pushing into territory long dominated by PhonePe and Google Pay. Navi, Super.Money and Bhim have seen their UPI payment volumes surge by 50 to 100% over the past six months

Towards the Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND): the GRANDProto300 and GRAND@Auger prototypes
The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) is a proposed multi-messenger observatory of ultra-high-energy (UHE) particles of cosmic origin. Its main goal is to find the long-sought origin of UHE cosmic rays by detecting large numbers of them and the secondary particles created by their interaction -- gamma rays, and, especially, neutrinos. GRAND will do so using large arrays of radio antennas that look for the radio signals emitted by the air showers initiated by the interactions of t…

As Congress prepares to return to a monthlong sprint until the ⭐️funding deadline,
pressure will be on Chuck Schumer to hold his ground and tensions could significantly heighten.
Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday called on their GOP counterparts to
“immediately meet” once Congress returns from recess next week
to discuss the need to avert a shutdown,
while pressing for their proposal to “fund the government in a bipartisan ma…

Phase diagram and eigenvalue dynamics of stochastic gradient descent in multilayer neural networks
Hyperparameter tuning is one of the essential steps to guarantee the convergence of machine learning models. We argue that intuition about the optimal choice of hyperparameters for stochastic gradient descent can be obtained by studying a neural network's phase diagram, in which each phase is characterised by distinctive dynamics of the singular values of weight matrices. Taking inspiration from disordered systems, we start from the observation that the loss landscape of a multilayer neural net…
